A Vivre Card is made from part of a person’s fingernail which is then made into paper. It is completely water and fireproof but can be torn and given to a cared person that one would be separated from.[2]

The torn pieces will point to and move towards each other no matter where they are in the world, allowing one to always be able to tell in which direction the other person is.[2]

True to the name "paper of life", Vivre Cards also display the life force of their owner. If the life force of the person who gave the Vivre Card is disappearing, the card will begin to burn.[2] It will grow back to its original size if the person recovers, but disappears completely if the person dies.[3]

Portgas D. Ace: The very first Vivre Card was received in Alabasta to help Luffy find his brother.[1] It had diminished quite significantly due to Ace being captured and in danger of execution.[2][4] Upon rescue from the execution scaffold, the card was fully restored, but when Ace took a direct hit from Sakazuki through his stomach and died, it completely turned to ash.[5]

Linlin's Vivre Card exuding her powerful soul energy.

Charlotte Linlin: This card was received from Lola of the Rolling Pirates. She gives Nami a Vivre Card of her "mama" and signs it in case they need her assistance in the New World.[2] Here the importance of the Vivre Card is fully explained. This Vivre Card contains her powerful soul energy, which radiates to such an extent that all the Homies would not attack Nami when she took out the paper.[6] Because of the potential trouble should an enemy gets their hands on such a Vivre Card, along with potentially confusing the Homies on whom to better serve between Big Mom's Vivre Card holder and Big Mom herself, not even the children of Big Mom are allowed to carry Linlin's Vivre Card now.[7] While this card had been taken by Amande,[8] it was later revealed that Nami had secretly cut it in half, with Nami still possessing half of Linlin's Vivre Card.[9] Once Linlin herself was in the vicinity giving orders, the Homies took her orders over Nami via the Vivre Card.[10]

Silvers Rayleigh: After the trouble they caused on the Sabaody Archipelago, Rayleigh gives each member of the Straw Hat Pirates a Vivre Card to find him once their ship has been coated.[11] After the Summit War, he leaves his own piece with Shakky while he goes to see Luffy, so that the rest of the Straw Hats would still be able to find their way back to Sabaody.[12][13] Shakky later gives the piece to the Straw Hats as they are about to leave Sabaody Archipelago for Fishman Island, because Luffy, who hadn't yet shown up at the time, would be following it.[14]
